    Hey There!

    So since the last update almost all of the town, caves, and instances I visit have maps where the marker is moving backward or sideways and it's not located on the map where my actual character is standing. In some cases, like in most sieges, it's not even loading the same map I'm on.

    Is there a way to fix this or is SOTA really that screwed up right now?

    Thanks!

    oh man... wowsa!
    Quick fix for some of these maps would be to at least have the option to not have the map center on the player, so at least I could use the in-game map. Resorting to the online maps just to get my bearings is less than ideal. lol

    Growing pains.

    There's an entire thread and explanations on the work underway by @Undone to sort out the map issues. It would appear that some have to be broken before they can be fixed to ensure they are consistent and each map made less bespoke.

    We are getting a proliferation of thread on map issues. can we all maybe stop creating new ones and refer to : https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/in-game-map-issues.134364/#post-1092762

    @Undone, you may want to consider a temporary sticky for map issues otherwise the forums is going to get swamped with 'FFS! OMG! the Maps! it's the EOW!'

    Must be a Linux thing... I use Win 7, maps are working fine for me (BTW, the arrow turns to where your camera is facing)...

    I wish it was a Linux thing. We do not even have map support period.

    They're broken on the Mac too, since R55. Again, not all of them.

    Ummm I'm on Win 7 too. 2 different boxes... both same issues.

    I have the worst sense of direction, I live by my maps, even in real life. So no working map, means I spend half of my game time wandering around for hours to find stuff. So yes... EOW no maps working.

    This option already exists. In the bottom left of the map there is a "Follow" checkbox.

    I have taken over that responsibility and it will take me a little while to get up to speed on everything.

    In the mean time please report all location/rotation issues on this thread so we can keep everything together.
